Mischa Barton’s Body Image Issues
by Betsy on Celebs
Mischa Barton is currently being hospitalized at a psychiatric ward and no one seems to know why or how but there is something definitely going on because she even missed walking the red carpet last week for the premiere of her new movie, Homecoming.
It’s no secret that Mischa has struggled with fluctuating weight and now that her current condition is being scrutinized by all the news agency some sources have come forth to imply that Mischa is still struggling with body image issues.
“She has big self-esteem issues. … She hates her legs,” says a source close to Barton. “She isn’t comfortable with her body. It’s been a big source of stress and self-hate.”
Her insecurities were also fueled by the mean comments made by tabloids and bloggers.
“She had a big problem with those photos of her cellulite. … She didn’t like it,” says another source. “That just was something that contributed to her spiraling but she didn’t do much to fix it because of her partying.”
Another friend said,
“[She was] more pissed off than hurt and she complained a lot about that” – she didn’t let them get “to her too much. … I never saw her diet.”
But when photos showed a thinner Barton, she took to her blog and spoke out about the “crazy press,” telling fans that she’s “happier and healthier than ever so there’s no need to worry about me.”
Then when she lost heaps of weight people claimed she was too thin, so she spoke out about that on her own website. She wrote,
“Just be happy and secure with yourself,” she wrote on her Web site. “Don’t let other people’s perceptions of you dictate the way you live your life.”
Regardless of the rumors and gossip, as of now no one knows the real reason she has been admitted into the ward. But what’s more important is that she’s getting treatment.
